I guess you can let them know by calling them up and assess whether they are capable of handling such seats. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

awhtc 6th Gear March 6, 2022 Share March 6, 2022 Alternatively, go for half-leather to optimise cost. The parts in contact with body use real leather and other parts use synthetic leather. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No need full leather actually. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zayanwong Neutral Newbie January 25 Share January 25 (edited) Changing out leather seats can really level up your car's interior. When it comes to quality replacements, exploring options like Von Baer might be a game-changer. They offer premium leather solutions that not only elevate the look but also prioritize durability and comfort. Local car upholstery shops or even online platforms can be great places to find a variety of seat options that match your style and car model. Just make sure to check reviews and ensure compatibility before making the switch. Edited January 25 by Zayanwong ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
